The  USDA  Rural  Development  (Agency)  has  received  an  ap-­ plication  for  financial  assistance  from  the  Village  of  Luck,  WI.   The  specific  objective  of  this  application  is  to  receive  a  low-­ interest  loan  and  possible  grant  assistance  for  upgrades  and  modifications  to  the  existing  wastewater  treatment  facility  (WWTF)  located  at  260th  Avenue,  Luck,  WI,  along  with  im-­ provements  to  the  wastewater  collection  system  at  various  locations  in  the  Village.  A  public  meeting  was  held  on  August  14,  2013,  at  the  Luck  Village  Hall  to  discuss  the  conclusions  and  recommendations  of  the  Wastewater  Facility  Plan  that  was  prepared  for  the  project. As  required  by  the  National  Environmental  Policy  Act,  the  Agency  has  prepared  an  Environmental  Assessment  that  eval-­ uated  the  potential  environmental  effects  and  consequences  of  the  proposed  project.   This  notice  announces  the  availability  of  the  Environmental  Assessment  for  public  review  and  comment. 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  limits  and  interim  phosphorus  effluent  limits  which  were  included  in  the  treatment  facility’s  current  Wisconsin  Pollution  Discharge  Elimination  system  permit.   The  alternatives  evaluated  in  detail  for  wastewater  treatment  assume  that  both  groundwater  and  surface  water  discharge  will  continue  in  the  future.  All  three  alternatives  include  im-­ provements  to  the  existing  aerated  lagoons,  supplemented  by: 1. Rotating  Biological  Contactors 2. Fixed  Media  Polishing  Reactor 3. Moving  Bed  Biological  Reactor  (preferred  alternative). The  proposed  project  is  to  upgrade  the  existing  aerated  lagoons.  The  scope  of  work  includes  removal  of  sludge  from  the  existing  lagoon  cells,  upgrade  the  aeration  systems,  re-­ place  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,  provide  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  total  project  cost  is  esti-­ mated  to  be  $4,000,000.  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. Copies  of  the  Environmental  Assessment  are  available  for  review  at:  USDA  Rural  Development,  5417  Clem’s  Way,  Ste-­ vens  Point,  WI  54482,  or  at  the  Village  Office  located  at  401  Main  St.,  Luck,  WI.  For  further  information,  and  to  schedule  a  time  to  review  the  environmental  assessment  at  the  USDA  office,  contact  Brian  Deaner,  Program  Director  (USDA  Rural  Development),  at  715-­345-­7615  X  141.  Any  person  interested  in  commenting  on  this  proposed  project  should  submit  com-­ ments  to  the  USDA  Rural  Development  address  above  by  June  6,  2014. 3 >5(?37

Webster welcomes new Rustic Hearts gift shop on Main Street

H. Rice | Special to the Leader WEBSTER - Webster is a place where dreams come true. First, a new library was added, then a new coffee shop, then a discount store and now, its very own charming little gift shop. That charming gift shop, Rustic Hearts, ZKLFK RIĂ€FLDOO\ RSHQHG RQ 6DWXUGD\ 0D\ 10, is a dream come true for retired Minnesotan Theresa Brenner. She and her husband, Chuck, have owned a cottage on Yellow Lake for the past 12 years. “We love the area. I was born in Wisconsin and I’m a loyal Packers fan,â€? Brenner exclaimed. After she retired from her career as a medical technologist and clinical writer, “It just came down to looking for something different to do, along with some ideas I had about starting a business,â€? she said. Two years ago, the couple purchased the vintage red brick building on the west side of the historic bank building on the corner of Muskey and Main Street. “(The building) was built in 1928 and was rather run down, but I saw the potential to turn it into a gift shop,â€? said Brenner. “We got really ambitious with Ă€[LQJ XS WKH EXLOGLQJ DQG DGGLQJ RQWR LW We poured our hearts and money into the project.

Last summer, he didn’t even get his boat in the water, and he didn’t get to do much snowmobiling this past winter,â€? said Brenner. “We’re thrilled with the results, a fully updated building with unique character. I hoped it would appeal to area residents and summer tourists,â€? she said. Indeed, some local residents have already discovered the eclectic little shop when Brenner opened the front space last November and during the holidays through February. Inside, customers discovered all kinds of affordable treasures from cabin dĂŠcor, jewelry, accessories and artwork to gourmet treats, greeting cards and gift baskets. “We just got brand-new Webster T-shirts in,â€? said Brenner with enthusiasm. “I also

Q:

Why did the one-handed man cross the road? A: To get to the secondhand shop. ••• Joe Roberts A funeral service was held for a woman who just passed away. As the pallbearers carried the casket out, they accidentally bumped into a wall. They heard a faint moan. They opened the casket and found that the woman was actually alive. She lived for 10 more years and then died. They had another funeral for her. At the end of the service, the pallbearers carried out the casket. As they were walking, the husband cried out, “Watch out for the wall!â€? •••

Rebecca Keith to address Lyme support group AMERY - Western Wisconsin Lyme Support Group will host nurse practitioner Rebecca Keith at their upcoming Thursday, May 22, meeting. Western Wisconsin is facing another season of tick bites, Lyme disease and a number of co-infections that accompany this potentially debilitating disease. Prevention is the key; yet, many living in the St. Croix Valley area will be infected with Lyme disease. This is why the support group is offering this opportunity to anyone who wants to learn more about Lyme disease. Keith has a wealth of information to share, and everyone is invited to join the group at 7 p.m. at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church on CTH F in Amery. ² VXEPLWWHG

couldn’t wait any longer. I had been staring at my little garden every day. I would come home from school and peer intently at the dirt, focusing on the little sticks that Carrie Classon marked where the seeds had been planted. They should have sprouted by now, I thought. But my little seeds, after more than two weeks in the ground, were doing nothing. Nothing. My mother is a wonderful gardener. I remember when I was a teenager my mother would pick beans and weed the garden in a faded red bikini. I was rather proud of having a mother who gardened in a bikini. It seemed both practical and a little scandalous. My sister is also a great gardener.

Gardening requires waiting and being comfortable with uncertainty and a willingness to allow things to happen in unplanned ways. I am no good at any of those things. So instead, I did something I am good at: I worried. I had skipped a couple of days of watering. Maybe my seeds had dried out during a critical time. Maybe they had sprouted and, just before they made it to the surface, they died of thirst. “I am a terrible gardener,â€? I said to myself, imagining those little sprouts desperately trying to make it to the surface and dying in the attempt. I kept watering and watching. Two more days passed and Peter was over. I was staring at the ground where nothing had sprouted. I confessed my watering lapse.

“I am a terrible gardener,� I said to Peter. “I’m going to dig one up and see what happened.� It seemed sort of wrong, but I couldn’t wait any longer. So I got out my trowel and dug until I found a seed. I wiped the dirt off and was instantly depressed. The seed was gray-colored and soft. “I think it rotted in the ground,� I said to Peter. I wondered what I had done wrong. I wondered if I would have any better luck if I replanted. I thought of my sister and her beautiful gardens and my mother picking baskets full of beans in her bikini. The gardening gene had clearly skipped over me, I thought, while Peter sat staring at my ruined seed. “Hey look,� he said. He had pried the little seed open. Inside there was a leaf, a brilliant green beautiful leaf getting ready to bust through the gray seed cover. Gardening does not reveal itself in the way I want it to, no matter how many books I read or how carefully I follow directions. Gardening is a spiritual practice. Gardening forces me to set aside my needless worries and my anxious self-doubt and simply allow things to happen in the way they will. Looking at the little seed making preparations to become a plant, I wondered how often I did this, pried open the seed, spoiled the surprise, insisted that things should occur when and how I thought was right. That night, I watered my seeds. I imagined them under the soil, getting ready to make their big appearance. I imagined my roles: waiting for them, trusting they would come when they were ready, contenting myself with making the conditions right, trying to be a less terrible gardener.

Beyond the great divide

nce upon a time, in an age before the Enlightenment, when talking of God was not verboten, the fall of man was well accepted, and the great divide of ego and desire recognized as an impediment to our seeking for transcendence. But that was back in the day when people lived for a purpose greater than VHOI JUDWLĂ€FDWLRQ 7KLQJV DUH GLIIHUHQW now. Scientism has taught us that we are but molecules formed from space dust.

We consume more natural resources than half the population of the world. For more than 100 years it has been the vision of the West to raise the standard of living of “the third worldâ€? so that they can live like us.

land, the animals and the resources needed to keep farming. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the most common form of depression for farmers is major depressive disorder. It’s a depression that occurs in about 6 percent of the population but shows up much more frequently with farmers. While much of the research has been focused on men, studies have shown that 41 percent of rural women also deal

with depression, more than double the women in urban areas and depression is now considered the fourth highest health concern among rural residents. In extreme cases, “farmer depression� can lead to suicide if it goes untreated. According to the NIMH, the risk of farmers taking their own lives is two to three times greater than the general population. Part of the problem is that a lot of farm folks don’t like to talk about their feelings. When there’s blood and broken bones, they’ll get themselves to a hospital, but the independent nature of farmers makes them less likely to talk about their emotional problems or go for counseling. Mental health professionals urge people to learn the signs that someone is

suffering from depression. A depressed person may be withdrawing, not taking care of themselves, not eating properly, sleeping all the time, starting to drink or use drugs, and pretty much giving up. ,I \RX Ă€QG \RXUVHOI RU NQRZ RI RWKHUV struggling with depression or related mental health issues, there is help.

The condition is common, but not limited to mornings after the horse has been fed, the weather has turned coolish, and the cowboy is absentmindedly saddlin’ his horse and jumpin’ on like it was any other day.

Now, in the cowboy world, if you survive one of these bucking horse displays, you can earn a little “cowboy cred.â€? That’s regardless of whether you get bucked off or not. Matter of fact, getting bucked off is a better story. My friend Jim’s story would put him in that elevated status. He needed to gather a small pen of Corriente steers and ship them. He saddled his horse. His wife told him he didn’t need a horse, they could use the four-wheeler. They were in a hurry. Well, the four-wheeler spooked the steers, so he went back, got his horse, jumped on and touched him lightly

with a spur. In the time it took for him to think, ‘Did I pull the cinch tight?’ he was sitting on the pommel, then back on skirts, then leaning to the port like a yacht sailor, then straddling the horse’s neck, as the normally gentle, dead-broke, \HDU ROG JHOGLQJ Ă€UHG KLP RYHU WKH fence and into the machine shed. Jim was no match for the three-point hitch on his tractor. He spent several days in the hospital with CAT scans, radiographs, catheters, IV stands and listening to the music of the whistling, binging, ringing, ticking and buzzing music of the monitoring devices. He was strong and brave and soon healed up. But he has never gotten over the humiliation that he felt every time one of his cowboy friends came to visit. When they looked at the records posted on the end of his bed, they all saw his diagnosis – fell off of his horse. ED[WHUEODFN FRP

Christmas to make reappearance this July POLK COUNTY - The Salvation Army is seeking help with bell ringing for a Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign. Normally the Salvation Army bell is a very familiar sound during the holiday season. People become accustomed to hearing the bells while out making their holiday purchases. This year, the winter hit the Salvation Army’s emergency funds hard. Many people, an unprecedented number, were in need over the winter months especially with the propane crisis. Your local Salvation Army was working diligently to try to meet the needs of many families and individuals and has depleted much of their resources in order to be able to continue

pring brings a few changes to the Burnett and Washburn County cooperative recycling system collectively known as the Recycling Control Commission, or RCC. Eventually, if not already, all RCC sites will have either one or two blue, eight-yard containers for all residential recycling.

If you have questions about the recycling process please feel free to call Jen at 715-635-2197, or email at jbarton@nwrpc.com. I ask that you please refrain from dropping off items when the bins are full. I understand this is often times inconvenient but we do our best to have them scheduled for replacement while ensuring total capacity. As this new system (the small bins being pulled more frequently) rolls out we will adjust as needed. Until then we appreciate your cooperation!

Christmas in July will run much like the regular bell-ringing season at the holidays but it will be a shortened version. Bellringing sites are located throughout the county at local merchants, with ringing days set for Wednesdays through Saturdays beginning June 25 and going through Aug. 2. Bell-ringing shifts will remain at the standard two hours, but the Salvation Army is putting out a special challenge to local civic groups and church groups for the summer.

However you would like to do it, they are excited to see you having fun and knowing that you are making a difference elected to become one of the ambassadors for the People to People Ambassador Program and will be touring seven nations this summer. She has to raise a considerable amount of money to participate in this program so she was given all the cans in the two-mile stretch we cleaned up, plus a donation to the fundraising. She went at it with gusto and thoroughness and in the two-mile stretch from Hwy. 35 west to 170th Street we collected eight large black bags of trash. Three bags were cans and the rest were plastic bottles and trash. One large kitchen bag had been tossed in the ditch as well. Would you please write a column about littering and the impact on nature? Why do people think it’s OK to throw their trash in the ditch? Thanks for listening to the rant ... I really could go on and on with tales. Cheryl Whitman -P.S. Her mother gave me permission to use her name in this email.� I want to extend a sincere thank-you to Ms. Whitman as well as Ms. Aleshire for your work that day. People like you who do things to help the environment above and beyond what most of the rest of us do are very inspiring to me and I want others to share in the inspiration. Thank you.

This collaborative effort with many stakeholder groups has been over 1-1/2 years in the making. Project coordinators Frank Lundeen and Steve McCormack agreed it was a surprisingly seamless blend between the many stakeholder groups who provided input for the design and content. According to Lundeen, “The area hasn’t capitalized on the amazingly diverse and appealing trails that exist here in St. Croix Falls. We are the City of Trails, and there isn’t a point in keeping it a secret any longer. Trails are a major driver of our local economy. We wanted to help put heads in

beds and butts on bar stools.� The new trail kiosk can’t be missed as you drive down Main Street St. Croix Falls near the Overlook Deck. Two additional trail kiosks will be located at the Polk County Information Center and the St. Croix Falls Lions Park. Each sign is divided into four sections to highlight the various trail systems in the valley: snow, bike, water and foot trails. The center panels provide an overview with a map of a radius of approximately 10 miles from SCF. Landscaping with natural traprock boulders will be installed as well. Choose Your Adventure is the theme of each panel and includes a legend of 10 or more trails of each type. A broad range of organizations and individuals provided input for the content

and design of the kiosks. McCormack added, “City Administrator Joel Peck and Mayor Blesi were on board immediately and gave their full support for the project.� Local tourism and recreational organizations and businesses supplied funding for the project. What started as a trail-cleanup day for local citizens became a full-on effort to promote the City of Trails. According to McCormack, “We were cleaning a fabulous trail right in my old backyard that I didn’t even know existed, and I thought if I didn’t know about it, others don’t either. We need to do something about that. That was kind of my call to action. These trail signs will certainly help get the word out, and hopefully serve as a springboard for more action.�

According to Lundeen, “We believe this is just the beginning of spreading the good word on our City of Trails. Through promoting and making the hundreds of miles of trails in our area accessible to visitors and locals alike, the area will realize a huge return on investment and capitalize on that thriving experience for our economy.â€? A next step for this group is to get individual trailhead maps at each trailhead referenced on the trail-info kiosks in town. Visitors will also have easy access to useful information on the abundance of trails in the new City of Trails tourism website, which is in development. ² VXEPLWWHG

Shavings show support for Sawyer Priscilla Bauer | 6WDII ZULWHU GRANTSBURG – A row of willing Grantsburg High School staff members sat ready to receive extreme haircuts on Thursday, May 8, as students and faculty cheered from the bleachers. Keith Lehne, Mike Moritz, Jill Meyer, Sue LaMere, Jim Chadwick and Adam Hale volunteered to get a buzz cut for a great cause, to raise money in support of GHS student Sawyer Coy, who was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. Students, staff and community members donated money to see the six staff members have their heads shaved to show support for Coy, who, due to chemotherapy treatments has lost his own hair. Lehne said he and fellow participant Meyer both presented the idea to high school Principal Stan Marczak within minutes of each other. “I had seen other people do similar things in the past and thought if it could help raise some money it would be worth it,� recalled Lehne. “Jill and I decided we would both do it and thought maybe we could raise $2,000-$3,000.� To date the nine-day head-shaving endeavor has raised close to $6,000 with

money, including $500 matching funds from Thrivent Financial, continuing to be collected through Friday, May 23. Lehne said money has come in not just from the Grantsburg community but also from all over, including $250 from Siren

School students. The school’s National Honor Society members decided to make the donation after hearing about Coy’s illness from adviser, Renae Peterson. “I think it is such a neat part of this story,� commented Lehne. “It shows the

FREDERIC – Nancy Hvambsal Morten, 76, Samantha Everson, 24, and Reagan Robertson, 2, are all surviving cancer. Theirs are some of the stories heard Saturday as area residents gathered in Frederic to tell their stories of dealing with cancer in their lives and the lives of their families and friends. The story is that cancer can affect anyone at any age. It is also the story that with detection and treatment, the effects of cancer can often be slowed. There are many in our community who are continuing active lives with cancer in remission. Reagan’s mom, Alison Lake, said she noticed little things, weird things, with her little daughter, things such as bruises and low fevers. Reagan’s cancer was caught soon, but she had seven months of treatment. The young often have a great way of adapting and Lake tells of Reagan running down the halls of the clinic trailing her IV stand. (YHUVRQ IHOW D OXPS LQ KHU QHFN WKH Ă€UVW VLJQ RI +RGJNLQ¡V lymphoma. The young nursing student and honorary chair of the Frederic Cancer Walk told her story of six months of treatment in last week’s Currents section of the Leader. At age 22, her life took a turn that shocked her. Everson’s life is going on. Morten is active in the community again, spending time with her Lionesses friends doing community work. But she also detected the signs of cancer and lived with the treatments for a year and a half. The Trade Lake woman was busy helping set up the Saturday walk. That is the story of three people from our community, years apart in age but surviving cancer because of awareness and treatment. Their cancer was different. Their methods of medical expense coverage, BadgerCare, regular insurance and Medicare, were different though they also received support from community fundraisers and the Cancer Society. That is part of the story of why area people turn out for the cancer walks.

Wooden watercraft enthusiasts are expected to come from all over bringing with them their historic and unique vessels. The event will also feature live music from The Porch Dogs, museum tours and open house in the museum exhibit hall, the unveiling of a new 2014 annual exhibit, and food and beverage available in the beer garden. Over 20 exhibitors are expected to attend, including LQGLYLGXDOV FRPPHUFLDO HQWLWLHV QRQSURĂ€WV DXWKRUV government agencies, educators, crafters and businesses whose products or services are relevant to boaters and owners of wooden boats and canoes. “The Bois Brule also inspired two 20th century canoe builders to evolve craft particularly well suited to the demands of her waters,â€? explained WCHM Display Curator Alan Craig. “Joe Lucius and John LaRock built craft that were durable, elegant, and met the needs of both guide and sport. The WCHM is lucky enough to have an example of each in its collections.â€? A prominent role in the display will be played by both the LaRock and a newly acquired Lucius craft. While folks are winding their way through the boat show and the exhibit hall, the celebration out front will continue with live music from The Porch Dogs, local favorites that offer a lively mix of country, rockabilly, honky tonk, blues, and roots music. Bob Berg and Tim Sears are featured on guitar and Gary Nielsen plays keyboards. You can expect to hear some Haggard, Cash, Yoakam, Jerry Lee, Prine, Jerry Jeff and many other favorites.

Where do you begin when you do not think the simple words THANK YOU are enough? Since December 12, 2013, our lives have forever changed. We didn’t think we could get up, much less live our lives. What seems nearly impossible, we have overcome by the generosity of our community. Friendships new and old we have made through this horrific, unimaginable time in our lives. We’re grateful for the effort, time, dedication and compassion that people have expressed and how they put their own lives on hold to help comfort our family. All of the planning, organizing, fundraising and preparing for public events. All of the meals delivered, the cards, the calls, the texts, the trinkets, the flowers, the deliveries and the monetary gifts. We thank everyone for all the hugs, tears, stories, memories, talks, and above all, the support! It is hard to imagine where we would be without all of this. Please accept our gratitude and our thanks, and know how dearly we treasure this community and the support. We apologize for a “blanket thank-you� printed in a newspaper. Our paper thank-yous are to come; for the time being please know we are humbled and beyond grateful for EVERYTHING.

With thanks, The Families of the Three AngelsLydia, Laynie and Clara. 3W

It’s a sad fact that we live in a world that is increasingly dangerous and unhealthy for our kids. As parents, we must be mindful of what our kids are exposed to when they’re in someone else’s care. I realize we can’t keep our children in a safe cocoon forever. Eventually they’ll face external threats and temptations, and as parents, we’re responsible to equip them for that challenge as early as possible. It’s important to look for appropriate opportunities that will allow your kids to step out from under your immediate oversight a little bit at a time. For us, however, we’ve elected to encourage our kids growth in this area through avenues other than sleepovers. Although we’ve done them in rare cases where we’ve known the families well.

to exercise due diligence with every invitation. You might consider meeting with the adults responsible for supervising the overnighter. Find out where it will be held and what activities are planned. If you’re well-acquainted with the person in charge, there’s probably little to worry about. If, however, this sleepover is being held in someone’s private home and you’re unfamiliar with the parents, I’d suggest that you meet with them beforehand to make sure that their values and perspectives are in line with your own. If this is a school- or church-sponsored event, you may discover that the teacher or leader would love to have you volunteer as a chaperone. ••• Q: My husband and I divorced when our now-10-year-old son was 3.

Psalm 112:6-7 says that â€œâ€Ś a righteous man ‌ will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.â€? The Psalm speaks about the righteous man—the person who regards God with holy awe and reverence and trusts in him alone for salvation. :H ZKR IHDU *RG DQG Ă€QG GHOLJKW in his word, according to Psalm 112, are not moved by fear and anxiety in times of trouble because our trust is in the Lord and not in ourselves or our circumstances. We will be blessed with riches and, even in the darkness when

bad news comes, light will dawn for us and goodness will be upon us. Through daily meditation of God’s Word, we can be strengthened against all the bad news, and its resulting fear, that we face. /RUG WKDQN \RX IRU NHHSLQJ XV IURP IHDU ZKHQ ZH IDFH EDG QHZV +HOS XV UHPHPEHU WKDW ZH QHHG QRW EH DIUDLG RI ZKDW LV DKHDG .HHS RXU IRFXV DZD\ IURP QHJDWLYH FLUFXP VWDQFHV DQG WRZDUG \RX RXU WUXVWZRUWK\ *RG :H KRQRU DQG SUDLVH \RX IRU \RXU KROL QHVV DQG MXVWLFH \RXU ORYH DQG PHUF\ ,Q -HVXV¡ QDPH DPHQ 0UV %DLU PD\ EH UHDFKHG DW VDOO\EDLU# JPDLO FRP

new family. My son tries to be brave, but I know he must feel hurt and rejected. What can I do? Dr. Greg Smalley, vice president, Family Ministries: Yours is a heartbreaking situation, and my heart truly feels for you. Witnessing your son being neglected by his dad is painful, and you shouldn’t dismiss or minimize your feelings, both for you and your son’s sake. After you’ve acknowledged and sorted out your own emotions, it’s important that you give your son the opportunity to identify and express his feelings, too. This is because children can’t grasp the complex dynamics of broken relationships. They don’t see things for what they are, and often assume guilt for the breakup, believing that they’ve done something wrong. Don’t wait for your son to bring up the subject. He probably won’t, especially if he’s trying to be brave. Next, try to uncover what’s at the root of your ex-husband’s emotional neglect of your son. It may be that he’s avoiding you, his new wife is interfering, there’s ÀQDQFLDO VWUDLQ HWF :KDWHYHU WKH UHDsons, he needs to understand and feel the weight his actions are having on his son. You’re more likely to achieve this goal and agree to a solution if you appeal to his emotions, rather than by shaming or

harassing him. Finally, do everything you can to Ă€QG D JRRG PDQ ZKR FDQ HQFRXUDJH and serve as a positive role model for your son. You might approach your father, someone from church, or a trusted teacher, coach or neighbor about the possibility of spending time with your boy. <RXU VRQ ZLOO EH VXUH WR EHQHĂ€W HYHQ LI his father doesn’t participate. ••• -LP 'DO\ LV D KXVEDQG DQG IDWKHU DQ DX WKRU SUHVLGHQW RI )RFXV RQ WKH )DPLO\ DQG KRVW RI WKH ´)RFXV RQ WKH )DPLO\Âľ UDGLR SUR JUDP &DWFK XS ZLWK KLP DW MLPGDO\EORJ FRP RU DW IDFHERRN FRP 'DO\)RFXV &RS\ULJKW )RFXV RQ WKH )DPLO\ &RORUDGR 6SULQJV &2 ,QWHUQDWLRQDO FRS\ULJKW VHFXUHG $OO ULJKWV UHVHUYHG 'LVWULEXWHG E\ 8QLYHUVDO 8FOLFN :DOQXW 6W .DQVDV &LW\ 02 7KLV IHDWXUH PD\ QRW EH UHSURGXFHG RU GLVWULEXWHG HOHFWURQLFDOO\ LQ SULQW RU RWKHUZLVH ZLWKRXW ZULWWHQ SHUPLV VLRQ RI )RFXV RQ WKH )DPLO\
