Stabbing suspect bound over on bond violation

BURNETT/POLK COUNTIES - Recognizing the WIDNR-sponsored Free Fun Weekend, state trail passes for bike riders will not be required on the Stower Seven Lakes and the Gandy Dancer State Recreation Trails Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7. Both trails normally require a Wisconsin state trail pass for bike riders 16 years of age and older. The passes, available locally, are good on all state trails. The Stower Seven Lakes Trail, the newest Wisconsin state recreation trail, opened in 2010 and offers a very scenic 14-mile ride from the trailhead in Amery to just outside of Dresser, passing next to Nye, Deronda and Wanderoos. Take a look at amerywisconsin.org.

The Gandy Dancer State Trail has been operating for 18 years and offers a longer 47-mile route from its trailhead at the Polk County Information Center in St. Croix Falls to Danbury. Four villages and unincorporated Lewis are located on the trail in Polk County, and they are all less than six miles apart.

Siren and Webster are on the trail leading north to Danbury in Burnett County. The Gandy Dancer Trail follows the Soo Line railroad corridor that founded and served the small towns in Polk County. In Frederic, the 1901 Soo Line Depot was refurbished and serves as a rest stop for the trail as well as the museum of the Frederic Area Historical Society. The Frederic Depot is the last remaining depot of this rail line and is open as a trail rest stop weekends from Memorial Day through leaf season in October. Trail maps and more information for the trails are available at the Polk County Information Center, 800-222-POLK, polkcountytourism.com, The Burnett County Visitor Center, visitsiren.com, amerywisconsin.org /<2 B63 $=:9 =C<BG $/@9A =4Q13 at 715-485-9294. - submitted â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ RICE LAKE - Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College is offering motorcycle safety training classes at the Rice Lake, New Richmond, Superior and Ashland campuses.

The dam is at 3386 140th St. in West Sweden, a mile north of Hwy. 35 just out of Frederic. It sits behind the Kurkowski house where it creates a large pond on the Wood River on the east side of the road.

The budget bill provisions also would allow the Board of Regents to lay off any employee, including tenured faculty, if university spending reductions are re required. The regents would get the power to decide whether to have any tenure provisions. But that would still be a stepdown from provisions in state law.

The JFC alterations to the biennial budget bill next go to the full Senate and As Assembly, both controlled by Republicans, where the document is subject to change.

After legislative passage, Walker can then use his broad veto power to make further changes.

Earlier this year, Walker submitted budget bill language to change the stated mission of the university system. He later retreated, calling it a drafting mistake.

The state has over 75 additions or subtractions from federal AGI before arriving at Wisconsin AGI. For example, since 2008, Social Security income is exempt from the state income tax. In 2014, these exclusions and deductions had a tax cost of $641.7 million. In

other words, removing those exclusions would generate an additional $641.7 million in tax collections, or allow for a 9-percent reduction of tax rates. Tax experts generally argue for a tax system with low rates and a broad base. These exclusions narrow the base and keep tax rates high.

Polk County is getting ready to hold its seventh online auction of tax-forfeit properties and there are some very nice parcels on the list. The sale of the eight properties starts Monday, June 8. A link to the auction site is on the home page of the Polk County website, co.polk.wi.us.

Two of the properties by Glovers Lake are near the southern edge of Johnstown, about two miles south of CTH G. They can be reached by heading south on 25th Street, a dead end which after a mile and a half becomes 30th Street. Look for two stone pillars which mark the location.

The lakeshore lot is 2.86 acres of wooded land on Glovers Lake to the right, or west, of the pillars. The site is the land on the south side of the road, Glovers Lake Drive, from the pillars to the lakeshore. The beginning bid for the lot, with 168 feet of shore, is $25,000.

The other lot in the area is three-tenths of a mile past the pillars at the point where the road curves left and then right.

The wooded lot is just ahead and left of the second curve and is marked with property stakes. The 2.39 acres with 146 feet of shoreline on Lower Linden Lake has a starting bid of $10,000. It appears that a neighboring property may use access across the lot. The county says that buyers are responsible for checking for easements.

A third wooded lot is also off the main roads, two miles south of CTH G on the eastern edge of the Town of Milltown.

The 5.98 acres of wood is on 183rdAvenue. The staked property is on the north side of the road across from 1242 183rd.

This property has a starting bid of $8,000.

It was offered in a previous auction with a $10,000 start and received no bids.

The fourth lot is on Little Falls Circle near Trident Lake in Black Brook. The 1.6-acre parcel is lot No. 4 in the Hidden Shores development. It appears that there are new homes on about half the lots which all share a walk-in access to the lake and a point with a picnic spot. The starting bid for this grassy lot is $13,000.

A parcel on Highland Drive near the Apple River in Lincoln is a pie-shaped lot with newer grown trees on a ridge above a wetland. The property, across the road from 934 Highland Dr., ends in a marshy backwater of the Apple River. It is also staked but not easy to walk through. The starting bid for the 1.42 acres is $5,000.

Two long and narrow wooded lots in Lorain are also up for auction. The prop-

In the six previous auctions the county has cleared $641,201 and returned 41 properties to the tax rolls. The $641,000 which goes to the county general fund is over and above the funds the county recovered from uncollected taxes and from selling costs.

One of the auction lots is just west of 267 CTH W. The other is east of 265 CTH W. The sites are now marked with stakes. Each lot is 2.9 acres and each has a starting bid of $2,500.

The last piece is one of the odd parcels the county gets for unpaid taxes that has very little use or value. The 0.15 acres is the back end of a grassy lawn used as parking for the Wanderoos Ball Park.

The land on three sides of the little piece is owned by the family that mows the lawn/parking area. At the back the landlocked piece drops into a wet area.

Unity students celebrate Wisconsin BALSAM LAKE - On Friday, May 22, the Unity fourth-grade students hosted their second-annual Wisconsin Heritage Fair. The fourth-grade students studied the history, geography and sociology of Wisconsin this school year as part of their social studies curriculum.

As part of their yearlong Wisconsin Heritage Fair project, students chose a topic of interest relating to Wisconsin and learned how to conduct proper research with the help of

the local librarians at Balsam Lake, Centuria, Milltown and St. Croix Falls libraries. The students then learned how to write research essays and cite their resources and created a poster display to showcase their yearlong learning journey, which was on display for many students, teachers, family and friends to see at the Wisconsin Heritage Fair. It was a fantastic event that showcased our wonderful state. - submitted

After a slightly mishandled pitch, Miller was on second.

Cassidy Quimby would have loved nothing better than to smash a hard shot, but being a team player, she took a rare walk. Now Briena Jensen stepped up, driving a perfect single up the middle to score Miller, and Quimby, with a full head of steam, raced toward home with the throw seemingly in time, but the umpire took a moment, and then made the call safe at home.

Cumberland hit the ball hard throughout the night off Unity pitcher Connor Olson, and the Beavers took an early 2-0 lead in the third inning with three hits, including two doubles. Unity answered right back in the bottom of the third, as Olson and Brett Nelson each hit RBI singles, and Nate Heimstead hit a hard single up the middle, right at Cumberland pitcher Tyler Landsworth. The hit scored another run to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead, but it was a scary moment for all fans as Landsworth went down hard, and the ball appeared to have hit high on his throwing arm. Landsworth would leave the game in just over two innings of work, as Isaac Boucher took over for Cumberland on the mound. The Beavers would quickly end

Raising chickens in a small village is one thing but creating a backyard farm in Chicago is another ...

Gary King | Editor GRANTSBURG/CHICAGO - For a good three months the topic of allowing the rais raising of chickens within the Grantsburg Village limits provided some grist for the local news mill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chickens come home to roost in Grantsburgâ&#x20AC;? read a headline in a March issue of the Leader.

There was some vocal opposition to the plan but in the end village trustees approved a seven-page set of rules, covering everything an urban chicken farmer needs to know.

The ordinance also states that backyard chickens â&#x20AC;&#x153;provide affordable and sustainable food and can provide animal companionship and nitrogen-rich fertilizer.â&#x20AC;?

For those who might see that as forcing country life where it really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong, consider the fact that even fewer restrictions regarding the raising of animals exist in urban Chicago, where there is nothing in the municipal code against keeping livestock.

)C0BF82: 50A< Eric Staswick, 26, a grandson of Dick Klawitter, of rural Grantsburg, is fully engaged in urban farming. He and his wife, Bethany, own a double lot on a side street in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago.

In February they were featured in the Chicago Tribune in an article by Tribune staff writer Barbara Brotman. The Staswicks got further exposure when the Lincoln, Neb., paper, the JournalStar, reran the article, titling it Kids in the City.

The word kids is in reference to the Staswicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three baby goats, named after Chicago streets - Foster, Ainslie and Argyle.

Eric said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy the diversion from busy life here in the city and we appreciate knowing where our food is coming from. I grew up visiting my grandfather at The Wilderness and have fond memories of the animals there.â&#x20AC;?

Other inner-city Chicagoans are moved beyond chickens to become goat herders, although their numbers are relatively small.

According to the Tribune article, one woman walks her goats down an alley to allow them to graze in an empty lot during the warm weather.

be exposed to it,â&#x20AC;? Eric noted.

The pros and cons of raising farm animals in the city were outlined at the third annual Urban Livestock Expo held earlier this year at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences.

*8<4;H 8BBD4 Klawitter said he thought the newspaper article, besides having the local connection of his grandson and family, was timely in light of the recent issue at Grantsburg. He said he feels farming within the village or city limits is OK with him, as long as it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disturb the neighbors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever families can do,â&#x20AC;? he said, in regard to raising their own food. He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a joy following the progress of his grandson and familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts.

Guidelines in local villages and cities vary and usually require special zoning. Fredericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordinance 9.10 (2) states, â&#x20AC;&#x153; No person shall keep in his possession any livestock within the village, except in an Agricultural District.â&#x20AC;?

Village Clerk Kristi Swanson said there are no ag districts in the village currently.

In St. Croix Falls, city clerk Bonita Leggitt says there are currently a few city residents who raise chickens, using city guidelines.

Rural development zoning is required for raising livestock within the city and there was one recent case of a family raising some exotic livestock within the city but they have since moved away.

In Webster, there is talk about revisiting the limit on the number of hens allowed per family, according to clerk Patty Bjorklund.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended that any village or city dweller should check with their clerks before starting a farm in their backyard.

Luck School students learn hands-on about reptiles " :(0 (-441C8 0.3)*7,&79*3 &3) D789 ,7&)* classes were introduced to a variety of lizards and snakes on Tuesday, May 26, thanks to a reptile education program put on by Sarah Jorgenson, education outreach coordinator from the Domestic Animal Wellness Center

and Wildlife Rescue in Siren.

In addition to learning general facts about reptiles, the students were able to see four different species of wild snakes that are found in our local area. They were also able to touch and hold a bearded dragon, leopard and crested geckos, mountain horned dragon, and various snakes such as corn snakes, hognose snake, bull snake, milk snakes, boa constrictors and a ball python.

DAWCWRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is that, through education, children learn that these creatures do not need to be feared but respected for their part in nature.

almart and Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club have announced new guidelines regarding animal welfare and the use of antibiotics on the farm, asking suppliers of meat products to: â&#x20AC;˘ Report and take disciplinary and corrective action in cases of animal abuse. â&#x20AC;˘ Find and implement solutions to address animal welfare concerns in housing systems. â&#x20AC;˘ Promote transparency by providing progress reports to Walmart. â&#x20AC;˘ Adopt and implement the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judicious Use Principles of Antimicrobial Useâ&#x20AC;? from the American Veterinary Medical Association, including limiting antimicrobial treatment to animals that are ill or at risk while eliminating growth -promotion uses of medically important antibiotics.

In making the announcement, Kathleen McLaughlin, senior vice president of Walmartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability division, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our customers want to know more about how their food is grown and raised, and where it comes from. As the

Seattleites, with eyes as big as saucers, watching my dad, the superhero, arriving on the scene, just in the nick of time to prevent disaster. And like a Superman episode on TV, the people my dad saved would thank him over and over again. My dad would smile, shake his head and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No need to thank me. I was just doing my job.â&#x20AC;?

I knew that he had a boatload of stories like this to tell. But I never heard any of them. I was too young. He told my mom that he only shared â&#x20AC;&#x153;poignant human interest stories,â&#x20AC;? when my mom checked to make sure that he was not â&#x20AC;&#x153;scaring the living daylightsâ&#x20AC;? out of me.

I had just come home from my half day at kindergarten. My dad was sit sitting in the living room in his easy chair, drinking a cup of coffee. He worked nights, so he had been sleeping when I left for school. I looked forward to seeing him after he woke up and before he went back to work.

A drum table with a lamp on it separated my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recliner from my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swivel rocker. I sat down on the nearby couch as close to my dad as possible.

Somewhere behind me a woodpecker joined the percussion section with a rapid beat which was somehow not out of character with the other more sedate participants. Below me in the lake I could hear the harrumphing and croaking of some of the evening musicians as they warmed up for the evening per performance. The concert was certain to be good.

He looked over at me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oblivious means totally unaware.â&#x20AC;?

But I decided that I would try another approach. So, what do you think I did?â&#x20AC;? he asked, looking straight at me.

I shook my head.

There are a number of programs pork producers have implemented over the past several years including the Pork Quality Assurance Plus Program that focuses on responsible antibiotic use and includes on-farm assessments to made sure producers are including veterinary oversight of antibiotic use and that producers are meeting the requirements for maintaining medical records. There is also the See It? Stop It! initiative, emphasizing the moral responsibility of animal

caretakers to speak up to stop any ani animal abuse. In addition, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Careâ&#x20AC;? program promotes responsible pork production and continuous improvement in animal care, handling and transportation. This initiative is complemented by the Transport Quality Assurance Program, certifying people who transport hogs in proper care and handling methods.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to recognize that Walmart has not given producers an ultimatum. There is no deadline. There are no penalties. Walmartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy is viewed by animal agriculture as wanting to work with suppliers in addressing consumer concerns, trusting producers to do the right thing.

Dr. Ron Prestage, president of the NPPC, says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walmartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recognition of that proves that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers, not extreme animal activist groups, should be setting food policy.â&#x20AC;?

Forts logging museum opens doors June 13

" % !-7** >*&78 &3) months almost to the day since the July 2011 windstorm wreaked havoc on Forts Folle Avoine and the rest of Burnett County, a phoenix has risen from the remnants of the damage. It represents a motto adopted by Director Steve Wierschem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Mother Nature hands you lemons, make lemonade.â&#x20AC;?

After volunteers cleaned up the fallen timber at the park, rendezvous re-enactor Stony Leroy donated the use of her portable sawmill and Wierschem began making â&#x20AC;&#x153;lemonade.â&#x20AC;? Piles of broken logs were sawed into dimensional lumber and construction began on a 24- by 36-foot building, with the dream that it would someday become a logging museum to display the Burnett County Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of logging artifacts. Over the course of two months the framework was completed, and the building had a roof and siding. â&#x20AC;?That was the easy part!â&#x20AC;? Wierschem commented.

Wrong. Oh shucks, turns out the echoes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hearing are symbolic ones. The focus of the event is a huge camp-out put on by several strange dudes calling themselves re-enactors, who interpret the past by mimicking it. Rather odd, to my gnomish way of thinking, but wait; if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd it must be OK. After all, it does grab oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention.

Turns out these re-enactor types like studying and portraying the lives of fur traders. They enjoy the unique story of the fur trade era. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drawn to a time that was characterized by European-descended traders and North American Indians uniting in a common enterprise that contributed to the mu9:&1 '*3*D9 4+ *&(- ,74:5 *&(*+:1 +47 the most part.

Some might have hand-crafted items they make for sale or barter, as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard you like shopping.

This search for the silent echoes of history will be held over the weekend of June 19-21, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve a little while yet to brace yourself for trekking off to the past. All that searching, hearing silent echoes and visiting with people stuck in the past can build an appetite, though.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

Dr. Dann Rowe, DDS

"B52

I want to thank my family and friends for all the cards, flowers, calls and prayers I received while I was in Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire.

Dear Teacher, Thank you.

Thank you for caring about our children.

Thank you for teaching them to read so they can navigate the world.

Thank you for teaching them how to use numbers so they can figure out the price of what they want to achieve.

Thank you for teaching them history so they can understand where we all come from.

Thank you for teaching them science so they can better understand the physical world that surrounds us.

Thank you for adapting your usual classroom curriculum to challenge the brightest students and to keep them engaged.

Thank you for the extra time you give the students who need your help the most.

Thank you for doing your job in front of a classroom of students who may be hungry, who may act bored, who may resent your authority, and whose parents might even share those traits.

Thank you for the hours you spend outside the classroom, preparing, reading, grading and keeping yourself current.

Thank for the thoughtful conferences you hold with parents to help them understand their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you for the money you spend out of your own pocket to help students in need, to supplement classroom materials, to fund scholarships for graduates.

Thank you for your patience, your years of training and experience, your dedication and your efforts to help our children create a better world for all of us.

Thank you for continuing to do all this in the face of a hostile state government and inadequate funding. Please know that we appreciate what you do and that we support your rights.

How to make your dragon Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIREN - A popular British book series and computer&3.2&9*) 24;.* 9.91*) @ 4< 94 !7&.3 %4:7 7&,43A -&8 launched a movement that has youth worldwide imagining what it would be like to have their very own dragons.

No youth is more deserving of owning a dragon than students who attend a school with a dragon mascot, especially if they are willing to build it themselves.

Months ago, students at Siren School gathered in the auditorium to witness the storytelling magic of artist/ performer Chris Lutter-Gardella. It was Lutter-Gardella of Puppet Farm Arts that helped Burnett County bring the legend of the Jordan Buck to life by leading a community arts project to build a kinetic sculpture of the re-

cord-setting buck for the 100th anniversary of its harvest.

Project manager Harriet Rice, with the help of Burnett County Community Development Director Mike Kornmann, designed an educational program around the 8(:159:7* 9-&9 )*1.,-9*) &3) *1*(97.D*) 9-* 0.)8 The show also inspired counselor Debra Eichmann and art teacher Dawn Schultz. Could Siren build its very own dragon?

From May 26-29, Lutter-Gardella served as an artist-inresidence at Siren School. Under his direction, students in the high school art class and volunteers working after school recycled industrial scraps into a giant puppet - a piece of kinetic art that will last for years and be used at school events and parades. The effort, made possible

in large part by Rice, will require some work over the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to have it ready by homecoming in the fall,â&#x20AC;?

Schultz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next homecoming is going to be a big deal, and this dragon will really add to it.â&#x20AC;? Currently the elements are being stored in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art studio, but once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete, proper storage may be an issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To hang it out in the open would be great,â&#x20AC;? Schultz said, but she fears that it could be damaged in a public area or become faded by the lights. For now, she and a ,74:5 4+ ;*7> *39-:8.&89.( 89:)*398 &7* +4(:8.3, 43 D3ishing the piece.

Early learning Webster students experience what school was like a century ago WEBSTER - Second-graders from Webster Elementary School traveled back in time on Thursday, May 21, to see what it was like to attend school during the pioneer days.

Students walked one mile to the Orange School on CTH A and spent the day learning what school was like more than 100 years ago.

Each student had a slate they copied their lessons onto. They also had an old-fashioned spelling bee and time to play games outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a beautiful day and the students and teachers enjoyed the active learning that took place throughout the day,â&#x20AC;? noted teacher Susan Steffen. - submitted

John was preceded in death by his wife, Bonnie; parents; brother, Charlie; son, Robert Clayton; grandson, John Clayton; and great-grandson, Michael Clayton.

+( $ -) Seed planting time

G

arden soil is about ready to accept our seeds to take root for another yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvest. Since I help my neighbor with his vegetable garden, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been shopping for new seeds to add to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply. Some leftover seed packages are now years old. Surprisingly, the old seeds I planted last year all came up.

Seeds are interesting. Old or new, they contain life and strength. In fact, their resulting plants are powerful enough to push upward through the tiniest cracks in rocks. Some seeds take longer to produce fruit and, of course, we know the more seeds planted, the larger the harvest.

C4A=0; ?4AB?42C8E4B Sally Bair All these facts point to spiritual les lessons. Jesus explained in a parable that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The seed is the word of God.â&#x20AC;?

(Luke 8:11) Like a seed planted in soil, it can be planted in our hearts to bear the fruit of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit: â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, good goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.â&#x20AC;? (Galatians 5:22-23) His word is alive and powerful, but it may take time to produce fruit. One

She acts like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no big deal, suddenly to turn mean or cruel? What but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m alarmed and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider this would happen if the verbal disrespect were to escalate into physical or sexual to be healthy behavior.

Those who plant seeds need be con concerned only with the planting. Others may water and still others may weed.

We plant Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word in our hearts and the hearts of others by living it.

And when our God-inspired actions are matched with his words of life, the seed takes root and begins to grow in the lives of those who hear. Salvation and victory over sin comes through the Word of God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?â&#x20AC;? (Romans 10:14)

>2DB >= C74 50<8;H Jim Daly thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great! But when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spreading racy, misogynistic, violent, nihilistic, pro-drug themes and the like, then to be a good parent means setting healthy boundaries. Most parents would have serious objections if a musician were to visit their home and promote these ideas directly to their children. And yet objec objectionable messages often get a pass when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re espoused via melody.

Fortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually easier these days to know what lyrical messages your kids are digesting because music fans have transcribed and posted on the Web just about every song known to man.

Parents can simply type the artist and song title into an Internet search engine, and voila.

That said, even the most diligent sleuthing is no substitute for dinner and car conversations with your children about being media savvy. When it comes to their music choices, ask questions like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are your favorite mu musicians or bands, and why?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do

As followers of Christ, we have the privilege of planting his word for his kingdom. I knew a woman who never missed an opportunity to share Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word with others. No matter whom she met, she ended her conversation with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus loves you.â&#x20AC;?

These three simple words, wrapped around Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truth, can take root in the hearts of broken or helpless people and transform their lives. What seeds are you planting today?

Lord, thank you for your life-giving, fruit-producing word. Help us to use it consistently as we plant it into the soil of hearts that need it as much as we do. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name, amen.

Unity School Powwow welcomes young visitors Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Unity School District held its annual powwow last Friday, May 29, and students from all grades had an opportunity to share in the culture of some 80 of their fellow students.

A special treat for the students was a visit from a number of young students from Waadookodaading, an Ojibwe language immersion school. The entire student body took part in the sessions, joining many local visitors and parents from the Round Lake community of the St. Croix Band of Ojibwe.

The Waadookodaading students, all from kindergar9*3 9-74:,- D+9- ,7&)* 8&3, 97&).9.43&1 &3) (439*2porary songs in Ojibwe, including the newest hits like Bruno Marsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uptown Funkâ&#x20AC;? and Taylor Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shake It Off.â&#x20AC;?

The Unity students were into the music, even if some of the adults were not. In addition, one of the three drum ,74:58 <&8 (42548*) 4+ #&&)4404)&&).3, D789 ,7&)ers.
