â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ LEADER LAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The St. Croix Valley Baseball League is well under way with the Osceola Braves hosting the Metro Merchants on Friday, May 15, and dropping the contest 4-1. Several pitchers got in some work Friday, including Jared Dettmann, who was lights out, according to Osceola Braves President Garth Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played in the Atlanta Braves minor league system and he will be fun to watch this summer. I believe he is starting on Wednesday against Forest Lake at Oakey (Park) ... Kid throws gas. Fun to watch,â&#x20AC;? Olson said. The St. Croix Falls Bandits already have six games completed this season and are 2-4 overall. Their most recent game was at Hudson but the Bandits fell 6-3. Both Matt Vold and Marcus Campbell are back on the mound with the Bandits this season, and both pitched against Hudson. Both teams have their upcoming schedules posted on their web sites at osceolabraves.com and hometeamsonline.com. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marty Seeger â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ LEADER LAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Thursday, May 21, St. Croix Falls at Unity baseball game is being broadcast on 104.9 FM, starting at 5 p.m. High school softball playoff games on Tuesday, May 26, will also be broadcast on 104.9 FM, as well as 1260 AM, but have yet to be announced. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ LEADER LAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Leader Sports strives to follow the college careers of area athletes.

Stories from the NW Wisconsin community

Gene Olson, of Siren, would like to see more days of honoring service members to emphasize the cost of freedom Sherill Summer | Staff writer SIREN - Memorial Day is set aside to honor servicemen and women who died while serving in the armed forces. The holiday was once called Decoration Day, a day organized to decorate the graves of soldiers who died at war.

And many graves are still decorated over the Memorial Day weekend, graves of servicemen and women who died while serving.

It could be argued that Memorial Day has lost its focus, and it could be why World War II veteran Gene Olson, of Siren, feels there should be more days to remember the servicemen and women who never came home, and why he stresses the importance of remembering what happened.

The remembering has not been without an emotional cost for Olson. He is a combat veteran who served on the USS White Plains in what is arguably the largest naval battle in history, the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Within this larger battle, the USS White Plains was SDUW RI WKH WDVN IRUFH JURXS QLFNQDPHG 7DII\ WKDW ERUH WKH EUXQW RI WKH Ă&#x20AC;JKWLQJ Because of the naval strategy displayed in the battle, it has been written about extensively since World War II and is considered an important American victory, but a more sobering statistic is an estimated 1,583 Americans were killed or went missing in the Taffy 3 portion of the larger battle alone.

And there would have been more American casualties if the Japanese had not pulled back unexpectedly. It was not without reason that Olson wrote to his mother soon after the war ended that it was only by the grace of God that he survived the war.

Last October marked the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Leyte, and Olson celebrated his 90th birthday earlier this spring. During most of these years, the memories were too painful to Olson to share with family, and even now Olson says that thinking about his war experiences on the White Plains is hard, although as time passes he claims it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother him as much as it used to.

On March 7, 1996, Olson wrote an account of his war experiences in a scrapbook for KLV JUDQGFKLOGUHQ DQG Ă&#x20AC;QDOO\ KLV IDPLO\ OHDUQHG RI ZKDW KH H[SHULHQFHG RQ WKH :KLWH Plains. He has loaned the scrapbook to the Leader for a more public remembering of his war experiences, just in time for Memorial Day. The following story is largely taken from the scrapbook.

All told, there could be more than 1,000 on board from all over the United States from all walks of life. Olson was happy to be assigned to the White Plains because he was always interested in airplanes.

The ship set to sea for the initial shakedown training in December 1943, and in June and July of the following year, the ship participated in the attack of Saipan in the MariDQD ,VODQGV DQG H[SHULHQFHG WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW DFWXDO FRPEDW 2OVRQ GHVFULEHG WKH WKUHH ZHHNV in the Mariana Islands as very trying on the nerves of those on board.

Chief Derrick Zeiler was more than happy to show everyone around all the new amenities in a high-tech building which literally has all the bells and whistles and provides increased access and space for emergency vehicles and equipment.

Architect Lars Glockzin was on hand to answer questions along with general contractor Joseph Berghammer.

Both felt the new facility would be a big asset to not only the Grantsburg community but also the surrounding areas.

Funding for the project was made possible through a $1.6 million U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Community Facilities Loan and a $360,000 economic development loan from Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative. ´7KH Ă&#x20AC;UH DVVRFLDWLRQ KDV WR SXEOLFO\ WKDQN /DQFH Ausing, USDA area specialist, for all of the extra work and time he put into our project in order to make it a VXFFHVV ÂľVDLG -HUHP\ *URQVNL Ă&#x20AC;UH DVVRFLDWLRQ FKDLUSHUson.

Some of the biggest losses for the commercial beekeepers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;close to homeâ&#x20AC;? with losses up to 60 percent in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. Minnesota beekeepers report more than 50 percent losses since last April.

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this straight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my wife is the chicken farmer, I am only the hired hand. Basically that means I do most of the work and she gets all the credit. I can live with that. I had a friend laugh at me because he thought I had a pet chicken. I replied that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so bad except when I took it for a walk the collar kept sliding off her head. Everyone else I know has black Labs, English setters or pit bulls; I have a chicken.

I used to think chickens were docile and easy. You could throw them a corn cob, some kitchen scraps and a drink of water and out pops an omelet. Sometimes it works that way and sometimes it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Lately we have had a chicken problem and I contacted our friend the blueberry farmer and chicken consultant. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;good luck.â&#x20AC;?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem. Chickens are mean. We started with 12 chickens, a good number because in theory you would have a dozen eggs every morning. It never happens. Chickens are like people, six or seven of them do most of the work, two or three of them call in

poor nutrition and exposure to pesticides, mites and diseases.

The widely used pesticide group known as neonicotinoids still tops the list of suspects, with research showing that even at low doses, the chemical can have what scientists call sublethal effects. Neonicotinoids are used to coat seeds so plants take them up as they grow, protecting them from croprobbing insects. The threat to bees comes from the talc thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to keep the seeds moving smoothly through the planting machinery.

Bayer, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest users of neonicotinoids, is now

working with beekeeping organizations and scientists to come up with new products that will reduce the talc drifting.

Because agriculture relies so heavily on bee pollination, Washington developed a special task force to study bee KHDOWK 7KH UHVXOWV RI WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJV DUH expected to be made public soon, hopefully providing a plan to deal with bee losses.

Did you know: More than half the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial bees are needed to pollinate one crop, the $6.5 billion annual harvest of almonds, considered the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most lucrative nut.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to apply anything toxic to the chicken because I am no chicken doctor and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what chickens could handle. Honey is a good nontoxic substance to put on abrasions and cuts and acts like an antiseptic. I grabbed the chicken and poured a blob of honey on the back of her head.

It was like putting barbecue sauce on the poor chicken. Everyone wanted a taste. After another bit of riot control I rescued the FLC again and put her back in the other side of the shed. More research needed. The second idea was Vicks Vaporub. Someone wrote how

the smell drove the other chickens away and they hated the taste of the ointment.

Our chickens, however, seemed unfazed by the smell. Part of the problem was the blood was still visible through and around the ointment. I turned to the third option called Blu-Kote. It is an antiseptic purplish dye in an aerosol can. It is designed to cover the wound and make the red invisible.

Ah, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet another reenactment-type extravaganza set for the weekend of July 24-26. This one is known as the Great Forts Folle Avoine Fur Trade Rendezvous and involves literally hundreds of re-enactors who transform the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Field into one of Burnett Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest towns for those days, and then magically disappear back into the mists of time. But, never fear, should you come and again be confused by history, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope in the form of another pancake breakfast on the Sunday morning of that doings.

Later on thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lavish dinnertheater type event they call the Beaver Club set to convene on Oct. 10, and a pre-Christmas bash dashing through the snows of Dec. 5, 6 and 12. My never-failing source of Forts info, a hermit I call

For some reason, the mention of those events brought on a rare face-spanning grin from the Old Recluse, but all he could say was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okee dokee!â&#x20AC;?

Following this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frolics, the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tours continue every week Wednesdays-Sundays, while the history library welcomes visitors each Wednesday.

SCVF announces The Remember Project NORTHWEST WISCONSIN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every 67 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. The families of the 5.2 million Americans who currently have Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are faced with a myriad of decisions about living with a disease that acts like a thief. Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is currently on the rise as the baby-boomer generation ages, and barring a medical breakthrough, the number of people with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is expected to triple by 2050. Currently, there is no cure for the disease.

Based on the overwhelming statistics around Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the St. Croix Valley Foundation Board, staff and volunteers agreed that the foundation needed to make programming and funding available to address the aging communities. Therefore, in 2015 the SCVF will pilot The Remember Project. The goals of the project are to stimulate a valleywide community conversation around Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, the most widely recognized type of dementia; connect with the various organizations DQG SDUWQHUV DOUHDG\ ZRUNLQJ LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;HOG HGXFDWH WKH community to reduce the stigma around Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; and, ultimately, help to create more dementia friendly communities.

The Remember Project stems from a book of three one-

act plays titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Memory Care Plays,â&#x20AC;? compiled and edited by Margaret A. Noel, and from the recognition that the arts are a powerful tool for inviting deep and meaningful conversation. The plays will be produced and performed by a small, traveling, professional cast that will visit various community centers, churches, care centers and schools. The plays will educate audiences on the impact of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the effects on those stricken as well as the huge challenges and pressures faced by their caregivers. In addition, attendees will participate in a facilitated conversation immediately following the performance and, based on their need, receive materials and resources.

The St. Croix Valley Foundation is in the process of selecting 10 host communities for the plays.

Nine graduate from the Unity Alternative Diploma Program Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nine graduates received high school diplomas during a ceremony held at Unity Schools Tuesday evening, May 12.

Opening remarks were given by school district Administrator Brandon Robinson, who noted that changes were made in the program this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a new approach, new learning center, expert educators and improved technology,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;these students received a rigorous, quality education.â&#x20AC;?

Robinson congratulated the students on their hard work and dedication, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This commitment has led to many doors opened for you in your future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And where you go from here is different for each of you. Different interests will lead you to different decisions, and different paths for success. What remains the same is that we will all be watching you represent our school and our community. We look forward to hearing about your future accomplishments.â&#x20AC;?

Robinson encouraged the graduates to ask the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who do I want to be,â&#x20AC;? then to â&#x20AC;&#x153;visualizeâ&#x20AC;? their success and work toward that end.

He concluded by quoting Capt. Jean Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise, who said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see where your journey through the stars takes you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be watching and we believe in you.â&#x20AC;?

Program coordinator Carol Kline also shared words of congratulations, encouragement and advice with the students. Drawing on her own past, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandmother once told me that an education is something that no one can take away from you. It is yours for the rest of your life.â&#x20AC;?

However, she said, the journey is just beginning, and the diploma is a foundation on which to build by using ongoing education. It is like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;learnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permit for the rest of the drive through life.â&#x20AC;?

There will be bumps and crossroads, Kline told the students, and when they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure which way to go VKH HQFRXUDJHG WKHP WR Ă LS D FRLQ ´%XW GRQ¡W JR E\ KRZ WKH FRLQ Ă LSV Âľ VKH FRQWLQXHG ´,QVWHDG JR E\ \RXU HPRWLRQDO UHDFWLRQ WR WKH FRLQ Ă LS Âľ She said that a few years ago she asked her father what advice he might give a graduate, and he said that people need to understand what they do not know. ´7KH RQO\ ZD\ WR Ă&#x20AC;QG RXW ZKDW \RX GRQ¡W NQRZ LV WR keep experiencing all sorts of new things,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Kline said that when she was in high school, her mother would tell her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mind your manners, keep your nose clean, and remember who you are.â&#x20AC;? Remembering who you are, she said, is the most important and the PRVW GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means to stick to your values and your core beliefs when you are faced with the pressure to go against them. Believe me, you are going to have a lot of those little moments in your life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go as far as to say that those moments are your life. Choose wisely.â&#x20AC;?

That way, she said, when the graduates are successful and people are amazed at the things they have accomplished, they can say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, what did you expect? I graduated from Unity.â&#x20AC;?

In introducing the graduates, high school Principal Jason Cress also encouraged them to remember that learning does not end when they receive a diploma or when they no longer have a teacher in front of them.

Continuing on Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space exploration theme, Cress said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly wonderful, the mind of a child is,â&#x20AC;? quoting from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Wars Episode II.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This statement reminds us that we can learn from all, no matter their size or age,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Continue learning beyond these walls or the walls of the ADP center. Dedicate yourself to being a lifelong learner.â&#x20AC;?

These students are members of the 11th class to graduate from the alternative diploma program. So far almost 160 students have received their diplomas through the program.

Program coordinator is Carol Kline, and staff members are Bill Alleva, Jeanne Alling, Brittany Bosak, Jason Bosak, Becky Crowe, Shelly Schmitz and Heidi Vanderloop.

BMC welcomes automatic CPR device GRANTSBURNG - When an individual suffers a condition where their heart stops beating, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an essential lifesaving procedure. It can keep organs alive and prevent neurological damage when the concern is that blood will stop circulating and oxygen will not get to necessary parts of the body.

While a critical lifesaving procedure, CPR is not an easy task to perform. Providing manual chest compressions of high TXDOLW\ LV ERWK GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW DQG H[WUHPHO\ WLUing, and requires multiple staff members rotating to perform the duty.

But thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Burnett Medical Center Foundation, the BMC emergency department recently added an automatic CPR device to its resuscitation protocols - one that is proven to enhance outcomes and save lives of patients suffering cardiac arrest.

Known as the LUCAS Chest Compression System, the device delivers automatic, continuous and effective chest compressions to maintain life-sustaining EORRG Ă RZ LQ FDUGLDF DUUHVW SDWLHQWV Registered nurse, Erin Vogland, emergency department nurse manager, explained how the device works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The LUCAS system is simple to use, taking

only seconds to situate on a patient and begin compressions. Once the device is running and working to supply oxygenated blood to the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organs, emergency department staff is freed to focus on other lifesaving tasks, such as administering medication and ventilation.â&#x20AC;?

The LUCAS device standardizes chest compressions in accordance with recommended guidelines of 100 times a minute to a depth of 2 inches. It provides the same quality of compressions for all patients, consistently over time.

Inouye to speak May 24 at Siren Covenant Church following Bangkok missions trip

5RJHU ,QRX\H WHDFKLQJ D FODVV LQ D FKXUFK PHPEHU V KRPH 3KRWRV VXEPLWWHG SIREN - Roger Inouye will be returning soon from a mission trip to Bangkok where he has been teaching English at the Santisuk Silom English School. He has taught a class of six ladies, using the life and teachings of Jesus as part of a comprehension exercise. This has allowed him to answer questions they have about moral and spiritual issues taught from the Bible, which differ greatly from the Thai culture, during class discussions.

They in turn have shown him the Thai culture through sightseeing tours to museums, temples where monks are being WUDLQHG Ă RDWLQJ PDUNHWV IHDVWLQJ H[SHriences and inner-city Bangkok poverty districts. He received a Thai foot massage which he described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice, but I had forgotten it hurts when they hit the nerves of parts of your body that are strained or out of balance. Actually, I discovered that most of my body is out of balance!â&#x20AC;?

In contrast to the many new and ex-

citing experiences of the city, he found a â&#x20AC;&#x153;warm and uplifting timeâ&#x20AC;? at a house church where he ministered to Christians and felt the close presence of God. This has been Inouyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth trip to Thailand to teach English and he has encouraged others to join him in this mission work and have the opportunity to learn a different culture. This trip has given him new experiences from a different part of Bangkok he has not been to before which has stretched his comfort zone.

All are welcome to come and hear Pastor Roger and see pictures from his experiences in Thailand and learn how God is working in places like Bangkok and the lives of Christians there. He will be speaking at Siren Covenant Church, located on Hwy. 35, one mile south of the stoplight, on Sunday, May 24, during the Sunday morning service which begins at 10 a.m. - submitted

Nancy was born July 8, 1929, a daughter of the late J. Erick Anderson and Agness S. (Nelson) Anderson in Minneapolis. She attended public schools in Minneapolis and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1946. On Sept. 11, 1948, Nancy married Roy E. Anderson in Minneapolis. They had two sons while living in Minneapolis, Erick R. and Steven W. In 1953, the family moved to Frederic, where Roy was plant manager for MPM. In 1956, their third son, John E. Anderson, was born.

Nancy was very involved in her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives when they were growing up. She sewed clothes, knitted caps, mittens and socks, she taught Sunday school, she was a Cub Scout den mother, she made sure that the boys toed the mark in school, and they that were polite and had good manners.

When her husband, Roy, died in March of 1989, Nancy started a new chapter in her life. She did some traveling and continued to display her artistic talent for needlework and knitting, now for friends and grandchildren. At a class reunion she got reacquainted with Stanley Fincham, a former high school sweetheart.

They eventually decided to get married, and the ceremony was performed on Feb. 14, 1992, at the home of her sister, Sonja Sorensen, in Glen Ellyn, Ill. She and Stan lived in Minnetonka, Minn., and eventually moved to Pine River, Minn., where

they had a lake home on Lake Hattie.

During this time they purchased an apartment at Parkway Cooperative of Burnsville. They continued to travel to Berrago Springs for the winter until Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death on July 10, 2004. After Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, she took several trips with friends, she remained very active in the special event activities of the Parkway Cooperative, and she continued to knit an amazing quantity of beautiful caps, mittens, scarves and other items. Her years at burnsville were happy ones surrounded by incredibly warm, fun-loving and caring friends. It should also be noted that her Swedish heritage was important to her throughout her life; she never forgot the language or the holiday traditions.

O

ne cold, rainy day when my children were young, I dropped them off at a relativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house just prior to the relatives arrival home. My youngest son, about 8, knew where to get the house key, so we designated him to climb over the yard fence to retrieve it.

My other two children and I remained in the warm, dry car.

He climbed the 5-foot fence, balanced his feet on the top horizontal plank, and crouched down for his jump to the ground. Seconds before he jumped, we saw that the back of his winter jacket was caught on the top wire of the fence.

Too late to stop him, I watched help-

Circumstances sometimes put us in precarious predicaments, which leave us wondering if we can hang on to the thread of sanity or emotional stability.

(John 15:9) What a promise. When we choose to accept Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great love for us, we no longer have to feel that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re barely

hanging on by a thread. The thread of his love is so strong, it will never let go. It will see us through the worst circumstances. His love will surround us like a winter jacket, with no danger of causing us to fall in a heap. The entire Bible speaks of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the strength of his love. We can count on it always. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to hang by a thread.

Lord, thank you for your word which promises that your love never fails. Life may have its threadbare moments, but with you in control of our lives, we receive strength to keep going to the end. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name we ask for your strength today. Amen.
