It’s not all about fish and politics

+HOSLQJ WKH DUWV VRDU ST. CROIX VALLEY - What happens when 50 artists are given a blank birdhouse and asked to create a unique piece of art? ArtReach really wasn’t sure, but it seemed like a fun idea. Each blank birdhouse was returned with a unique personality that showcases the artist. Results vary from avian schoolhouse to a yellow construc tion crane to Haitian-style lean-to. “Although I helped bring the birdhouse auction idea to the valley, even I am overwhelmed by the amazing creations,� says Scott Zahren, an ArtReach supporter and volunteer. “The artists have outdone themselves. It is very cool!� A sneak peek at all of the birdhouses is available online at artreachstcroix.org/birdhouse. The birdhouses will be auctioned off at the ArtReach St. Croix Birdhouse Auction on Thursday, May 22, from 6-9 p.m. at The Grand Banquet Hall, 301 2nd Street S., Stillwater, Minn. In addition to a live and silent auction, the fundraising event will feature live music by The Barley Jacks trio, the chance to meet the artists, hors d’oeuvres and more. Tickets are $25 for early birds or $30 after May 14 and are on sale now at ArtReach St. Croix and online at artreachstcroix.org/birdhouse. For more information, contact ArtReach at 651-4391465.

The need became evident when statistics showed that Burnett County ranks among the highest in the number of suicide deaths among its residents compared to the rest of Wisconsin and the United States.

Managing county jail like solving a puzzle Jean Koelz | Staff writer BURNETT COUNTY – A popular workSODFH WUDLQLQJ PDJD]LQH GHĂ€QHV PDQDJHment as “bringing order out of chaos.â€? That seems to be true lately for Burnett County Jail Administrator Jared Woody, who has EHHQ VHDUFKLQJ IRU WKH ULJKW VWDIĂ€QJ IRUPXOD WR HIĂ€FLHQWO\ UXQ WKH MDLO -XVW ZKHQ :RRG\ gets it all worked out, a new variable comes into play. At the Thursday, May 1, public safety meeting, Woody expressed appreciation to county supervisors for approving an increase in staff at a previous meeting. His request for help was based on the fact that overtime expenses have increased due to legislative mandates regarding staffing levels. Currently, Burnett County staffs two jailers and one dispatcher at all times. Because of the way shifts rotate, the full-time employees don’t put in the same number of hours every week. A cost projection showed that hiring additional staff would be more economical than continuing to incur overtime. However, Woody’s research has yielded

a more efficient scheduling option and now he says that hiring might not be necessary. Common scheduling models use 10or 12-hour segments. The 10-hour model is popular with employees because a four-day workweek allows for three days off. But because 24-hour days aren’t evenly divisible by 10, the schedule creates chunks of time where employees are overlapped. This creDWHV VSDFHV WKDW KDYH WR EH Ă€OOHG E\ SDUW WLPers or overtime shifts. In contrast, 12-hour shifts divide nicely into a 24-hour day, but it makes for a long day in a high-risk environment. Recently, Woody received a scheduling model from the state of Georgia that uses 8-hour shifts, and it could work nicely with H[LVWLQJ VWDIĂ€QJ OHYHOV ´:H¡OO VWLOO LQFXU VRPH overtime,â€? Woody told committee members, “but we won’t need to pay out for training DQG EHQHĂ€WV Âľ 7KH PRGHO EULQJV DGGHG UHOLHI because Sheriff Roland explained that the RQFH ODUJH SRRO RI VHHPLQJO\ TXDOLĂ€HG FDQGLdates has dwindled because the background checks were not going well. “It’s to the point that we’ll have to start

over,� Roland said, with respect to recruitment efforts. If the model works, those costs will be avoided, as well. Another new twist for the jail is that, under new rules from the Department of Corrections, the kitchen no longer meets legal standards for preparing and serving food to prisoners. Woody estimates it would cost at least $100,000 just to meet code. “Given the size and life span of our facility, it’s not worth the expense,� Woody said. “We’re looking at contracting the whole thing out.� Woody explained that he’s still running estimates and that the kitchen would still require some upgrades to properly receive food and store it at recommended serving temperatures. “We’re already outsourcing dinner at $3 per inmate from an organization that works through the Polk County jail,� Woody said. But the good news is that because Burnett County would not be preparing the food, there will be some staff savings including eliminating the need for a nutritionist. According to Woody, changes will need to be made this month.

Polk zoning ordinance comparison online

Proposed ordinance goes to public review this summer

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The proposed Polk County Zoning Ordinance, together with a comparison to the prior ordinances and two sets of proposed amendments, is now on the Polk County website and available for public study. The 30-page comparison produced by the Land Information Department is the newest document and the last report expected before the new ordinance goes to the public. It contains three columns showing the contents of the existing two ordinances, the contents of the proposed ordinance, and a list of changes and comments between the old and new ordinances.

The zoning ordinance revision and rewrite has been under way for two years. It is an attempt to combine two existing ordinances, bring them into compliance with DNR Shoreland Protection Rule NR 115 and revise the standards to meet current public wishes. The ordinance will regulate land use in the Polk County towns that chose to adopt county zoning rules. With 60 percent of the county residents living in the rural towns, the ordinance will affect much of the county. Only the villages and cities, which adopt their own zoning regulations, and towns that do not adopt county zoning, will be left out of the regulations.

Analysis: Working together in a new age

Regional collaboration and local interests

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer NORTHWEST WISCONSIN – The idea of collaboration, of working across old borders and divisions within our area, was raised again by Polk County Administrator Dana Frey, but he was not addressing a new idea. At the same time, the newest issue of The Wisconsin Taxpayer is titled “The Impending Storm� and talks about the demographic changes coming to Wisconsin and our region. The potential of doing things new ways is an ongoing theme and so is the resistance. A very broad way of looking at our region is the St. Croix Land Heritage Initiative which is looking at the St. Croix River area as one united entity with no political dividing lines. The St. Croix land

But that is offset by the present reality of the Leader-Register coverage area which includes three counties, 19 school districts, 66 towns, and 19 villages and cities. In addition to that, there are multiple ÀUH GHSDUWPHQWV DQG DPEXODQFH VHUYLFHV There are six hospitals in the area and more on the edges. There are 353 nonprofits headquartered in Polk County alone. Ideas arise and questions are raised about how that myriad of bodies can work together in a mobile society with new technology and communication tools. But there have not been many forums to look at issues across political and organizational lines. These are just a few of the ideas and questions which touch on possible regional collaboration that have been heard

over the years. • Regional planning to bring jobs into the area. Most residents live in the rural towns, but industrial parks are in the villages which compete for tax dollars. • Are small school districts, with fewer than 500 students, viable and can they attract and keep teachers? How can small districts offer broad educational opportunities at a reasonable cost? School districts account for half the property taxes. • Is there a need for local policing when the sheriffs departments cover entire counties 24/7? • Can counties share jails and dispatch centers? • Programs for the aging and some health issues are now met across county lines. Can more programs and departments start working together without state prodding? • Should every town have its own road

department and crew? One town in Polk County contracts with the county for services. • What demographic changes are affecting the region? Will part of the region have an aging population with few jobs while another part of the region is home to commuters to Minnesota? These ideas are raised but seldom explored and discussed in a regional way. 6KHULIIV PD\ KDYH ÀJXUHV RQ KRZ WKH\ provide service to the villages but that may be seen as a power grab instead of an improvement in protection. A political group may want lower taxes, school districts and more jobs, while there is no role for the county in bridging the gap. People move into the area expecting regional services but have no idea how the fragmentation of local governments and groups works.

Collaboration is the future of county government

Committee role is setting policy, determining priorities

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – “Policy making is more now than anytime in history,� Polk County Administrator Dana Frey told the public safety and highway committee Tuesday, May 6. He went on to say that government will need to play a collaborating role with others in the future as they

look at new ways to provide the services people want. Frey was talking about committee and county board responsibility in the coming years in a changing society. Frey said that the new role for the county is governance, not government. That means determining how best to provide the services people want and who provides what service, collaborating with other governments, the private sector and RWKHUV HVSHFLDOO\ WKH QRQSURĂ€WV &RXQW\ government will be only one player, one piece of the puzzle, Frey said. The annual budget is the most important regular action the county board un-

The county board decides what money to spend on a program based on what happens in the community as a result of that program but asking why the program was done in the ÀUVW SODFH Another way of looking at this in Frey’s presentation was asking what people want and are willing to pay for, what level of service should be provided, who should provide that service and what role does the county play in that provision. Factors in determining what services WR SURYLGH LQFOXGH ÀQDQFLDO OLPLWDWLRQV changing technology, shifting citizen

demands, new federal and state service provision models, and economic and demographic changes. Frey says it is the role of the county board and its committees to determine the public wants and desires and change county policies, including budget changes, to meet the new public wants. Otherwise, he said, there will be no change. “If there is no change directed from the county board, the county administrator will continue to do everything the same,� Frey said.

Luck School Board clarifies ag position

Twins grant means new youth school ball field

Greg Marsten | Staff writer LUCK – Approximately two dozen people turned up at the Luck School Board meeting on Monday, April 28, to show their support for the school’s agricultural programs, which they were concerned was threatened by changes in how they plan for next year and course offerings for science. According to district Administrator Rick Palmer, the issue that drew so much attention was not entirely clear and had to do with changes in state standards on science credits, where they now require three science credits, as opposed to the current two credits. “It’s about animal and plant science, one is articulated and meets state standards,â€? Palmer said, adding that for a credit to count toward that standard, it must be articulated with the Department of Public Instruction and must be taught by a licensed science teacher. The current agricultural offerings don’t meet that standard, so the district is moving one science class into another teacher’s schedule, to meet that standard. “We didn’t reduce or cut any programs,â€? he stated. “We just moved one class out of there (agricultural departPHQW Âľ Palmer said they are trying to get an additional arc welding class approved

New squad truck, work truck put into service Greg Marsten | Staff writer DRESSER – Two new trucks were put into service for the village of Dresser this week, including a slick new Dodge Durango squad truck and a Hemi V8-powered utility work truck, both replacing aging units. The board was given a peek at both vehicles at the Dresser Village Board’s regular monthly meeting on Monday, May 5, where Dresser Police Chief Ryan Haass noted some of the positives with the new squad truck, which replaces a 2008 Durango, but was a different model. “We had a few issues with the wiring and with things that didn’t quite transfer from one vehicle to another, but I think we’ve got them mostly worked out,� Haass said. He said they are adding a few additional lights to make the truck more visible and are using many more LED lights, which not only last longer but use less energy. The new squad truck is a smaller V-6 powered unit, and while the last Durango had only 70,000 miles on it, they began to have issues that kept it out of service at

for true secondary school credit, one that would allow for ag teacher Tom Wesle to concentrate on the class, possibly even to students from other districts. “It is for seven credits through WITC. Some of Tom Wesle’s time would go to that,â€? Palmer said, adding that they are seeking a grant to assist in the proposed program, as well as a business partner to assist. They are offering their own educational time and facilities as in-kind payment and are also hoping to add a blueprint reading class or some other kind of equivalent offering, as well. “We’re hoping we could partner with other districts on this,â€? he stated. The school board took no action on the ag issue, but Palmer said he was pleased to see such strong support for Wesle, the ag program and hopes people with concerns had their questions answered. ´, WKLQN WKH DJ SURJUDP LV JUHDW DQG it was nice to see such strong support,â€? he said. “That was good to see.â€?

,Q RWKHU ERDUG DFWLRQ • Palmer said they did not have to add any more days to the student schedule, in spite of the brutal winter that led to so many late starts and closures. “We already made up three full days,â€? he said. “We actually had four hours to spare.â€?

KH FODULĂ€HG • Palmer praised the efforts of PE and health education teacher Megan Challoner, who has sought and received two additional grants for the district. “We were approved for one grant for $10,000 from the Minnesota Twins,â€? he said, noting it will be used for a new youth baseball/softball field, roughly across the street from the current baseball diamond, on district property. “The grant will provide approximately half of what’s needed to complete the project, and he said they are using longdormant activity funds, going back to 1983, to complete the project. The board also voted to use some of the dormant funds for stage repair, replacing the current wood lathing for underlayment and commercial-grade plywood, making it easier for set building and atWDFKPHQW DQG WR PDNH WKH Ă RRU VPRRWKHU Palmer also noted Challoner’s efforts to obtain another $4,000 in grants for the so-called “Summer Saunterâ€? program for third through sixth grades. The program is for one week and includes an overnight camp-out with work on the Ice Age Trail.

“It’s a great program and I’m glad it’s returning,â€? he said. • Pam Stratmoen of Central Insurance gave the board a peek at their future health insurance costs, which Palmer said are expected to go up about 15 percent next year. “We currently have about 110-percent usage, meaning we use more than we pay in,â€? he said. The change next year is likely to mean an additional $118,000 to the budget, and he said the board will review several options to lessen the impact on the district and employees. • The board met in closed session to review and approve teacher and staff wage plans. They approved a 1.5-percent pay increase for department heads, retroactive to the start of this school year, with and additional 1.5-percent for department heads next year. They approved one half-position layoff notice, and while support staff wages have been frozen for some time, the board did not approve increases, but instead added a “stepâ€? which includes incremental increases in hourly wages across the board, at different levels, depending on seniority. The plan also includes an additional step for next year. Palmer said that if a staffer is maxedout on the step tables, they would get an automatic $.10/hour increase for both years.

Wisconsin tourism surpasses pre-recession levels State received 100 million tourist visits in 2013, up 18 percent from 2010 Mike Simonson | Wisconsin Public Radio STATEWIDE - Wisconsin’s tourism economy has rebounded to above the levels before the Great Recession. The number of visits from tourists who chose Wisconsin as a vacation destination last year reached 100 million, up 4 percent from 2012 and 18 percent from 2010. Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett says that translates into $11 billion in spending at resorts, restaurants, shops, gas stations and other businesses. “With Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, 15,000 lakes, rivers and streams, the world’s largest and longest inland chain of lakes,� said KIett. “The list goes on and on for what we offer.� One possible reason for the bump is advertisements that feature celebrities like Kareem Abul-Jabbar and the crew from the comedy “Airplane!� complete with old jokes.

here were, into the month of May, no signs in the front windows of Mary %XUNH¡V FDPSDLJQ RIĂ€FH DFURVV WKH VWUHHW from the state Capitol in Madison, nothing to broadcast her name to the many people passing by. That’s an odd missed opportunity for a candidate struggling to make herself known. A Marquette Law School poll in March found that an Bill Lueders astonishing 59 percent of respondents did not have either a favorable or unfavorable impression of Burke. (A subsequent “Democratic-leaningâ€? poll said seven in 10 respondents had an opinLRQ RI KHU HYHQO\ GLYLGHG

In modern political campaigns, shaping these impressions often hinges on money. And Burke, despite her personal wealth from family business Trek Bicycle, where she was an executive, is not likely WR PDWFK WKH ÀQDQFLDO ÀUHSRZHU RI WKH LQcumbent, Gov. Scott Walker. In the 2012

recall election, Walker’s campaign spent $36 million. “I am trying to raise enough money to get my message out,� Burke says in a recent interview at her inconspicuous headquarters. She vows to be deliberate in doing this “because I do expect unfortunately that I will be greatly outspent.�Burke, a Madison School Board member and former state Commerce Department secretary, is the clear front-runner among four Democrats vying to take on Walker this fall. Her personal wealth is seen as a key asset to her campaign. But part of her game plan is to impugn Walker’s support. “I do point out how much money he raises from outside interests,� Burke says. “I think it strikes the people of Wisconsin as wrong. And it should.� In the recall election and afterward, more than half of Walker’s money has come from people who live in other states. And that doesn’t include outside groups like the Republican Governors Association, which has already dropped $2 million on ads attacking Burke, and booked another $2 million in ads for this fall. Burke sees such support as toxic, saying it comes from people with a narrow politi-

cal agenda that’s out of step with Wisconsin values. She brands Walker a Tea Party conservative and political extremist. $VNHG DERXW WKHVH VSHFLĂ€F DOOHJDWLRQV Walker campaign spokeswoman Alleigh Marre offers general remarks: “Under Gov. Walker’s leadership, Wisconsin has created over 100,000 jobs and nearly 17,000 new businesses, turned a $3.6 bilOLRQ GHĂ€FLW LQWR D PLOOLRQ VXUSOXV DQG cut taxes by $2 billion. Wisconsin is moving in the right direction.â€? Burke, who declared her candidacy in October, raised $1.8 million through Dec. 31, including $430,000 in self-contributions. During this same three-month period, Walker raked in $3.6 million, 52 percent from out of state. About $224,000 of Burke’s reported contributions — 12 percent — came from other states. Burke says some of this comes from relatives and long-term friends and vows that, overall, “the vast majority of my money will be from inside the state.â€? In fact, she would like to ban out-ofstate contributions: “When you look at U.S. elections, we don’t let any foreign money play a role, so I don’t see why we should have out-of-state money coming

into a gubernatorial race.â€? She even favors limits on “self-funders,â€? as part of comprehensive reform. Both ideas would face constitutional challenges. “I would certainly look at all possible options,â€? Burke says, acknowledging that any solutions would have to hold up in court. The current system, she says, is just not working: “Money plays too big a role in terms of our elections and as governor I would work to reduce that impact.â€? %XW Ă€UVW VKH KDV WR JHW HOHFWHG XQGHU WKH current system.

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

The  May  meeting  of  the  Village  Board  of  Siren  will  be  held  Thursday,  May  8,  2014,  at  2  p.m.  at  the  Village  Hall.  Agenda  posted. Ann  Peterson Clerk-­Treasurer 3

8:30 p.m., and he quickly joined the banquet, which was well under way. He swooped through the Trollhaugen event center with his security detail, several of whom had rehearsed his arrival a few days prior, looking through every nook and cranny of every venue he attended. Walker quickly signed a few items for a later auction and met with several organizers before joining the crowd in the event center. He took a deep breath and joined the room to thunderous applause.

She also noted that the “Highway 35� song is likely to be featured on several county-themed medias in the coming weeks for all to hear. “It was a real highlight of the evening.� Sadly, the governor did not get to hear the Unity singers, as he arrived a short time after they left for Madison.

CROIX FALLS – The Luck/Frederic softball team was still winless on the season after a loss against St. Croix Falls Monday, May 5. It was another tough loss for L/F as they’ve faced some pretty good teams to start the season, only to lose by a small margin of runs late in the game. The Saints, meanwhile, posted their second conference win of the season after going all last season without a win. “We played well,� said Saints coach Clayton Hanson. “Katie Kopp pitched a great game, and our bats were on last night.

Camille Marsten smacked an RBI double, and Tessa Clemenson also singled to make it a 7-4 game in favor of the Saints. It wasn’t until the top of the seventh inning that L/F came back to tie the game with three runs, but the Saints got their chance in the bottom of the seventh. The inning started off with a walk of Aguilar, who later stole second base. After a strikeout and pop out, with Aguilar still stranded at second base, Hannah Matteson hit a line drive up the middle to score the winning run. Five Saints had two hits apiece including Matteson, who had two RBIs, while Fisk, Lutz, Sullivan and Katzmark each recorded a pair of hits. The Saints had 14 hits overall, while Luck/Frederic totaled nine. Emily Amundson went 2 for 4, and Clemenson was 2 for 3.

Katie Herrick | Special to the Leader ST. CROIX FALLS - As every middle school student knows, extracurricular activities are at least as important as school itself. There are so many choices ... forensics, sports, drama maybe. All seem vastly different, but they hold one thing in common, they offer something that will make you a more successful person. Athletics give you discipline, forensics offers eloquence and drama gives you a chance to express yourself. At this time of year, another activity takes the stage, an activity that teaches creativity, innovation and problem solving. What could possibly offer these unique skills? The answer is Destination ImagiNation. Destination ImagiNation is offered by schools and is open to everyone.

“Someone was there when I needed them�

Family, friends and faith made battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma a winning one

Gary King | Editor FREDERIC - Nearly two years ago, Samatha Everson was forced to ask herself a question that drew heavily on her inner strength. “Am I going to die?� Then 23 years old, she had just been informed by a neurosurgeon at the University of Minnesota Hospital that she had Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that often strikes young people, originating in the white blood cells and affecting the body’s lymph system. Today, Everson has been cancer-free for nearly a year but she recalls – and credits – the months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments for an awakening to not only the fragility of life but to the importance of family and friends. Not to mention early detection. As honorary chairperson for this year’s Frederic American Cancer Society Walk/ Run, to be held this Saturday, May 10, Everson will cut the ribbon to begin the event while marking a personal milestone and a new beginning. After the interuption cancer so suddenly created in her young life, she is now attending school to become a registered nurse and hopes to contine work with the American Cancer Society to help families affected by cancer.

Frederic Soo Line Depot/Museum opens May 24 FREDERIC - The Frederic Area Historical Society starts its 19th year of bringing the history of Frederic to life at the Frederic Soo Line Depot/Museum Saturday, May 24. The 1901 Frederic Soo Line Depot is the last of its kind on what was once the major pipeline of commerce in this area through more than half of the last century – the railroad. The Soo Line railroad is what got Frederic started. When the Soo Line abandoned rail service through Frederic in 1989, the village acquired the depot and restored it with transportation enhancement grants from the Department of Transportation, as a rest stop on the Gandy Dancer State Trail and a museum of local history. The Frederic Area Historical Society is in charge of running the museum. In addition to the local history items archived in the depot, the original Frederic Library building, an immigrant’s log cabin from the late 1800s, and Soo Line wide-vision caboose No. 137 are featured and open to see. The depot/museum is open to the public from Memorial Day weekend through leaf season in the fall. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends and holidays. There is no admission charged, but donations are welcome and help to fund the operation of the museum. Frederic Area Historical Society members will be on hand to share the history of Frederic, and the coffee will be on during the opening weekend. The historical society is always looking for new members to help share the past through volunteering at the museum. This is an excellent opportunity to give back to your community and keep Frederic’s history alive. If you have any interesting memorabilia for display, from the Frederic area or the Soo Line railroad, please stop in or call 715-327-4158 or 715-327-4892.

But if every tourism destination is chasing after the same group of potential visitors, how can we make ourselves stand apart? In my humble opinion, I think this comes from the intensely true belief that we cannot be all things to all people. The days of “something for everyone� are over. Our market is as segmented as it will ever be, and if we try to reach all people, our message will fall on deaf ears.

great de-evolution. We have been living in fraud all these years. And now we face the conundrum of our being: From the Stone Age to the modern – what a decline. The fall of man is now embraced by the end-time prophecy of scientism. We have met the problem: It is us. The ice caps are melting to wash away our sins. The divine revelation proves true: Ego and desire are traits we cannot evolve out from. Maybe it is our mind that is the culprit. All of our plotting and scheming has got us nowhere. Our archaic ancestors had it right all along: Live simply and at one with Earth and all of creation. If we are content in not going anywhere, there is no need to invent the

wheel. If our needs are few, what’s the use of money? If we could only learn to sit content and joy in the glory of creation. But alas, we cannot. So we shall be forced to hunker down until the wrath has passed. Perhaps the cult of scientism is only an idolatrous ersatz for the religion and spirituality from which we have turned away? But we shall never unplug. We shall google on unto our doom.

Minnesota that are still waiting for a window to get the crops in. Minnesota is the furthest behind of the top 18 cornproducing states with only 4 percent of the acres planted, 26 percent below the average. Iowa corn plantings are running close to 20 percent behind the average.

temperatures stressing the plants even more. North Dakota isn’t even showing up in the weekly crop updates, with continued wet and cold weather keeping the equipment in the shed. Ideally, farmers would like to have corn planting wrapped up the last week of April, however, mid-May is considered “decision time� for most of the Corn Belt as the potential for yield loss becomes greater and farmers start to look at planting fewer corn acres and more soybeans. Planting corn later than May carries the risk of hot weather affecting pollination and an early frost in the fall killing the crop. Darrel Good, University of Illinois ag economist, says he wouldn’t be surprised if farmers planted less corn than their original plans, particularly in northern growing areas, and, “Yield

prospects will be up in the air until later in the season.â€? Once the ground is ready, farmers will be scrambling to get seed in the ground as fast as they can. With 24and 36-row planters, a couple of men/ women can get a lot of acres planted in a relatively short time. Factoid: The fastest planting was May of 1992 when 34,103,730 acres, or roughly 43 percent of that year’s crop, was planted in a single week.

out. That is lower than either housing, transportation or health care which together account for 52 percent. And the Department of Labor who did the survey didn’t even include income tax. Another factor is that with most foodstuffs, the farmer’s cut is less than the grocer or restaurant middlemen, from 5 percent for grain products (bread) to 50 percent for milk. And that’s eating at home. Anyone who eats out 40 percent of the time and complains about the cost of french fries, orange juice, hamburger, Ben & Jerry’s or Starbucks is hard to take seriously. In addition, today’s modern middle-income shoppers are accustomed to “seasonal� fresh produce always being available. If it’s not avail-

However, single-parent families working two jobs or those who are receiving welfare and/or unemployment checks are much more aware of the increase in the price of food. To our credit, the farm bill aids 46.7 million Americans, 1 in 5, that are receiving food stamps to the tune of $72 billion a year, to ensure that none go hungry. This lifesaving program, as well as all of the entitlement programs, are paid for by the taxes collected from the 90 percent who are working. It is not the government that makes money, the government takes money from those who earn it and redistributes it. The jobless and the middle-income groups are less affected by the food prices. But caught in the vice are those single-parent, geographically chal-

lenged, low- or middle-income Americans holding down a job and paying their own way. These workin’ moms do shop thriftily, and if the price of salmon, strawberries, asparagus or chuck roast is too high, they can do without. The supermarket is full of nutritious, generic brand, fresh meat and vegetables that are affordable, especially if you know how to cook. However, these workin’ moms are tempted by the ease and low cost of fast food meals versus the everpresent exhaustion that accompanies the HIIRUW RI Ă€[LQJ D KRPH FRRNHG PHDO IRU the kids at the end of a workday.

Luck performers and artists excel at state LUCK – Luck sent 26 students to the Wisconsin High School Forensics Association State Festival in Madison. Public speakers from all over Wisconsin gathered at the University of Wisconsin campus to perform in one of several categories - from poetry reading to playacting. Luck students competed in the following categories: extemporaneous speaking, group interpretive reading (aka Readers Theater), oratory, prose reading and solo acting. Students performed on Friday evening, April 11. Some entries were solo, some were in group. Overall, they brought home 21 gold medals, awarded for a per-

fect score; two silver medals; two bronze medals; and a single festival participant award. During the afternoon of that same day, the Luck Visual Arts Classic team participated in the state VAC event, also in Madison. Nine students were involved, completing and presenting long-term and short-term projects. They also competed in a quiz bowl event. Largely, they are the same youths that participated in the forensics festival, so many of them had about 12 hours of performance and creativity that day.

John entered into this life on Aug. 2, 1947, in St. Croix Falls, Wis. He was born the third son of Carl and Doris Erickson who farmed in rural Shafer, Minn. A sister was born to complete the family, who stayed on the farm until John was a freshman in high school. The family then moved into the town of Taylors Falls, Minn., where John graduated on June 6, 1965. Soon after graduation, John joined the United States Navy and served aboard the USS Beale DD 471, doing a tour to Vietnam in August 1966. Even when he was in the service, his letters to home spoke of missing deer hunting and what guns or reloading kits he wanted to buy when he got back. Hunting became one of John’s all-time favorite passions in his life. Not only did he enjoy the actual hunt, but loved having hunting buddies around him as he really liked a good time, laughing, playing cards, talking about the Packers and telling stories, and there were many. John was able to have a trip of lifetime, going on a big hunt in Alaska. He successfully returned after shooting a moose, a trophy caribou and a grizzly bear along with a hair-raising story to tell. John was self-employed as a carpenter, building many beautiful homes during his working years. John built his home in the Barrens, south of Grantsburg, where he really enjoyed the wildlife, not only out his picture window but also from the many deer stands he built on his property. John liked to grow a vegetable garden, enjoying his acres and canning the fruits of his labors. His shelves were full of fruit jars by the end of the summer, and he was proud to share with everyone. Family and friends were very important to John. He had a big heart to go with his big personality and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed greatly by those who loved him. He touched the lives of so many friends and family with his hearty laugh and quick smile. We will always remember “Big John.� He was preceded in death by his grandparents; his father, Carl Erickson; brother, Wally Erickson; nephew, Ricky Erickson and brother-in-law, Gene McKenzie. He is survived by his mother, Doris Erickson of Grantsburg; brother, Bill (Chris) Erickson of Mora, Minn.; sister, Dona McKenzie of Grantsburg; very special friend, Becky Newlin; many nephews, nieces and wonderful friends and his little dog, Walter. A Celebration of Life for John was held on Saturday, April 19. Arrangements were entrusted to SwedbergTaylor Family Funeral Home, Grantsburg Chapel.

Christ. There have been many other predictions in the past about a date and time of Christ’s return. None have been accurate, obviously, because no one knows when he’ll return. Jesus said, “You ‌ must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.â€? (Luke 12:40) The question, “Are you ready for his return?â€? should cause all of us to stop and consider. On that day, will we fall before him with fear and trembling, knowing we never heeded an evangelist or pastor’s call—or a grandmother’s prayer—to repent and turn our life over to Christ? Or will we welcome him, assured we will be taken to heaven to live
